Re going to a so called "secure" website, ie a https rather than the usual old, when ne started, http, website, using an address change ie https will mean ALL the old links in a forums database will no longer work.

So if I made such a change when changing ISPs, and upgrading the forums software, which I should do now as soon as reasonably possible, any old link to the forums elsewhere and also in our own forums archive will no longer work. Fo sites that don't care about old threads and are "now" only forums, that probably wouldn't matter. Some "archive" ie delete any posts more than a few months old, or a year or two. ALL our old posts still exist.

What was said about a "hundred year old firearm" 20 years ago is still probably as relevant today.

We don't need those new fangled brand new designed wheel rifles and cartridges every 2.37 years so the factories can sell the latest and keep sodapop marketers employed.

I will have to research exactly what the benefits of a https site is. As I userstand it having the security certificate means it is harder to hyjack a website address. ie so a user knows with more assurance, that the http dot com website if a https dot com is actually the site they think they are accessing. Not some other hyjacked website. ??? Will have to research.
